NUR 354 EXAM SET #1 QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
where can you hear mitral valve - Answer-5th intercostal space, left midclavicular line
where can you hear pulmonic valve - Answer-left 2nd intercostal space
Where can you hear the tricuspid valve? - Answer-right sternal margin of 5th intercostal
space
what confirms the mechanical action of the heart - Answer-apical pulse
what can we do to measure mechanical activity of the heart - Answer-cardiac output
cardiac index
blood pressure
preload
afterload
contractility
preload - Answer-volume of blood in ventricles at end of diastole
afterload - Answer-resistance left ventricle must overcome to circulate blood
blood flow through right side of heart - Answer-SVC and IVC to right atrium to tricuspid
valve to right ventricle to pulmonic valve to pulmonary artery to lungs
Is the right side oxygenated or deoxygenated? - Answer-deoxygenated
flow of blood through left side of the heart - Answer-pulmonary veins to left atrium to
mitral valve to left ventricle to aortic valve to systemic circulation
what are the different types of blood vessels - Answer-arteries and arterioles
capillaries
veins and venules
arteries and arterioles - Answer-pressure is the highest
, able to easily dilate and constrict
capillaries - Answer-tiny vessels at the end of the arteriole system
where oxygen and CO2 are exchanging
veins and venules - Answer-veins do not dilate and contract easily like arteries
low pressure
where is pressure highest - Answer-arteries
do veins or arteries constrict and dilate easily - Answer-arteries
what is included in objective assessment of pt - Answer-vitals
peripheral vascular system
what is done for vitals - Answer-bp
pulse pressure
mean arterial pressure
pulse pressure - Answer-difference between systolic and diastolic
mean arterial pressure - Answer-average pressure throughout the cardiac cycle
what is WDL for MAP - Answer-65-110
what is inspected for peripheral vascular system - Answer-inspect skin and extremities
